Об исполнителе (группе)

For 10 years, Merrill Sherman recorded his songs alone on a four-track in an Alabama shack and later a Chicago basement. It wasn’t until he moved to New York City that he met the members who would become The Living Kills: organ/moog/vocalist Jennifer Bassett, bass player/vocalist Brenden Beu (previously of The Fearsome Sparrow), and drummer Yancy Sabenicio.
The band’s first 7-inch, “You’ll Miss Me Most”, is a product of Merrill’s early recordings. The original starkness of one guitar and a voice drowned in reverb became the wintry, psychedelic landscape of “You’ll Miss Me Most”. The formerly finger-picked murder ballad “Wires of Copper” was cast anew with female vocals and electronic accents. Over the last year, the band has continued to evolve this sound, inspired as much by forgotten ’60s rock and Hammer horror films as the sensibilities and textures of post-rock. On their debut album Faceless Angels — produced and engineered by Brenden (Male Bonding, O’Death, Pissed Jeans) and mixed by Alex Newport (Death Cab for Cutie, Mars Volta, At the Drive-In) — fuzz and reverb-driven, 12-string arpeggios and Animals-influenced organ solos are held together by driving bass and drums, underlaying carefully crafted songs that would stand on their own in any arrangement. The final product is a cohesive album that evokes everything from the lysergic mind-meld of the Thirteenth Floor Elevators and The Calico Wall to the brooding power of The Black Angels and the wistfulness of early REM.
Of Faceless Angels, the full length follow up to their debut 7” “You’ll Miss Me Most,” Sherman says, “These are songs about my fears as a child and how I’ve come to embrace them… We limited ourselves to ’60s and ’70s equipment to create something distinctly modern, like aliens using primitive technology to return to their time — except when we cheated.”
